Re: [adoptium-wg] Let the use of Java 17 for MacOS 10.11

["Manuel Jordan [Eclipse Foundation]" <mjordaneclipsefoundation@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Tim

>>I will just add that we intend to continue building Java 11 with support for Mac OS 10.11 until at least October 2024

Good to know that! - at least my Mac can breath some extra years with Java

>>so if you are having problems with Java 17 and STS there is no rush to move at the moment

At least, so far - seems there are no software asking for Java 17 how minimum requirement.

Thanks for the links.

About the first link: - seems I have lucky because I use Java 11 in my sister's HP - it has Windows 7

BTW about the second link: for the unique table available, for the 'Next Release' column, seems all are wrong, should be 2022? right?

Currently shows 2021. Compare the 'Latest Release' vs 'Next Release' , the latter has no sense against the former

Thanks for the polite feedback of your email

Best!

- Manuel
